What is PEDRA IRON?
This stone comes from volcanic origin, it can have different names depending on your city, some call it topaz, pericó stone or rust stone Where basalt rust.
It is formed from metamorphic rocks that have textures that resemble rusty iron, which is why it brings so much beauty to environments.
This corten stone is a very resistant rock, due to the entire oxidation process it goes through, which is why this stone has colors ranging from brown, rust to black.
Oh, we can't forget that this stone is of Brazilian origin!
Cores
The color of natural Ferro Stone is rust, as if it were oxidized iron. This rock goes through an oxidation process, causing different shapes, textures and colors to appear.
You may notice that in some photos the iron stone is more orange (rust) and others are darker (brown and black). This will largely depend on the quarry lot where the iron stone is extracted.
Recently, a new stone color was launched on the market, black iron stone. Even with this name, the stone still suffers from color variations throughout its batch.
Its predominant color is black, and can range from grayish to yellowish stones. This is not a problem, as it brings a more natural and rustic look to your space.
When installing your iron stone, it is important to use all the stones that come with your work. do not select the colors and sizes! This will cause a large loss of stone, causing a much greater breakage.
Obs.: If you want to select the stones together with your setter, it is important add a break much larger than already recommended, above its size. A drop of 10% to 15% is recommended depending on the work.
What does this “break” mean?
The break is nothing more than a safety margin that you need to buy covering or flooring above the footage of the area to be covered.
Thickness
This is a big question for customers.
The thickness of iron stone varies greatly. It is important to remember that we are talking about a natural stone, extracted from a rock and is not manufactured.
Iron stone can vary in thickness from 1 cm to 3 cm, with greater variation depending on the model.
For example, an irregular iron stone fillet can reach 2 to 8 cm in thickness. This is because it is an irregular stone, the focus here is not something “straight”, it is something more rustic and unique.
In sawn stones, the variation in thickness is also intentional. This 3D effect that you find in the models is thanks to the high and low relief of the stone.
The placement of the high and low relief will depend on two things: thickness and mortar. When placing, your installer will separate the “thinner” stones from the “thicker” stones.
Depending on the model purchased, he will place a thinner stone next to a thicker one, and so on. Do not use stones of the same thickness side by side. This will make the 3D effect much more evident, making the placement much more beautiful.
Piso de Pedra does not work with stone installation. We always recommend a professional installer to install decorative stones for floors or walls. At the time of your purchase, ask for a recommendation from the seller who is assisting you.
